The problem is the number of contracting/expanding real servers.
My suggestion is if there was a mechanism whereby keepalived.conf could
just import from a database to know the current real servers, something
like:
/etc/keepalived/servers.d/206.47.60.33:80-192.168.1.2:80.conf
/etc/keepalived/servers.d/206.47.60.33:80-192.168.1.3:80.conf
/etc/keepalived/servers.d/206.47.60.33:80-192.168.1.4:80.conf
...
And then in keepalived.conf for virtual server 206.47.60.33 port 80 just
have something like "import servers.d/206.47.60.33:80-*.conf" or similar.
Now the servers.d/ files could be generated/removed according to current
active instances and then if the keepalived daemon/server needed
restarting it would always have the current state for the real servers.
